Simple Smore Squares
This is a favorite recipe of my son and daughter. They both love S'mores and can't get enough Cool Whip!
It's really simple too and doesn't require any baking - but you will need access to a stove or microwave so you can melt the chocolate.
We love these S'mores Squares because they're so easy to make and can be had anytime because they don't require a campfire!
Simple S'more Squares
Ingredients- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 squares Baker's semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- Chocolate sauce, hot chocolate powder or chocolate milk powder (Nestle's Quik), to taste
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl until combined. Press into bottom of 8-inch square pan that has been lined with foil.
In a small glass bowl, combine chocolate squares and milk. Microwave on high, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until chocolate is almost melted - stirring half-way through to prevent burning. Remove bowl from microwave and continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted.
Stir in marshmallows until slightly melted.
Refrigerate chocolate and marshmallow mixture for 15 minutes, or until cool - stirring occasionally.
In a medium bowl, combine Cool Whip and enough chocolate sauce, hot chocolate powder or chocolate milk powder to desired sweetness.
Gently stir together 2 1/2 cups of chocolate Cool Whip with 1/3 cup chocolate chips. Spread evenly over graham cracker crust.
Spread remaining whipped topping over top and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips.
Garnish with additional sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows.
Place dish in freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Cut squares into desired size and shape.
This recipe makes about 16 Simple S'more Squares.
